TELLER COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — Crews contained a small fire southeast of Florissant Wednesday afternoon, according to the Teller County Sheriff's Office.
The fire was burning near Dome Rock Trail, which is located about 20 miles southeast of Florissant.
At this time, it is unclear how big the fire was, but the sheriff's office says it is fully contained. Officials say it was caused after a wood chipper caught fire.
A pre-evacuation warning was issued for those living in the B Lazy M Ranch subdivision, but the warning was lifted around 3 p.m. Wednesday.
